SITUATION & LOCATION Believed to date in part from the medieval period, Honeysuckle Farm-formerly known as Dagwood Farmhouse-is a truly enchanting Grade II listed thatched residence, set well back from the road within an exceptional private setting. Surrounded by exquisitely landscaped gardens of approximately one acre (subject to survey), the property forms part of a small cluster of distinguished period homes, including Willow Farm, Mulberry Farm and Oak Farm, each reflecting the area's rich architectural heritage. Historically, the house is thought to have been of notable status, associated with the neighbouring farmstead, with land once owned and cultivated by the monks of nearby Bury St Edmunds Abbey. The grazing land to the front, with its frontage onto Ashfield Road, was originally the village green, enhancing the sense of history and openness that defines this unique setting.The accommodation is both generous and versatile, beautifully blending period charm with thoughtful modern improvements. Character features abound throughout, including exposed timbers and impressive fireplaces. The elegant drawing room enjoys delightful views across the gardens and is centred around a striking fireplace, while the cosy sitting room features a substantial inglenook fireplace with a Bressemer beam and intricate carvings, creating a wonderfully atmospheric retreat. The ground floor further comprises a well-appointed kitchen, utility room and shower room, while the first floor offers four bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, all accessed via two separate staircases, adding to the home's inherent character. The property is served by a gas heating system. The gardens are undoubtedly a defining feature of Honeysuckle Farm, having been meticulously designed and maintained to provide year-round colour, texture and interest. A series of thoughtfully arranged spaces offer both sun and shade, creating a tranquil and ever-changing landscape. Beyond, far-reaching views stretch across open countryside and farmland, while the historic village moat, which runs along side the eastern boundary to the property, attracts an abundance of wildlife and enhances the overall sense of peace and seclusion.Honeysuckle Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable character and historical significance, offering privacy and charm without compromising on convenience. The property lies within easy reach of the well-served village of Elmswell, with its range of local amenities, as well as nearby market towns. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and lifestyle on offer. Elmswell itself is a thriving Suffolk village, ideally positioned approximately eight miles east of the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, five miles north-west of Stowmarket and within convenient reach of Ipswich and London. The village benefits from a railway station on the Ipswich to Ely line, along with excellent access to the A14, making it well connected for both commuting and leisure.Rich in history, Elmswell is referenced in the Domesday Book of 1086, its name derived from the Old English elm and wella, meaning a spring or stream where elm trees grow. Among its notable landmarks is the impressive St John the Divine Church, dating back to the 14th century, alongside the iconic Elmswell Windmill, a rare surviving example from the early 19th century. Today, Elmswell offers a welcoming and vibrant community, with a range of local shops, pubs and amenities, as well as regular events such as the annual Elmswell Show.

This is a fabulous suntrap so could be redesigned to create a gorgeous courtyard garden area. In addition, a vast expanse of lawn, dotted with mature trees, provides a beautiful spot for stargazing with a glass of wine, something the current owners will really miss. The area has potential for landscaping, the creation of ponds, or even equestrian use, with the outbuildings lending themselves well to potential stabling. The views across the neighbouring fields just before harvest are something to behold with the yellow hue of the crops, and the rural setting means a diverse range of wildlife visits, including deer, rabbits, a barn owl, doves, woodpeckers, and buzzards – nature on your doorstep.  ON THE DOORSTEP Framlingham is best known locally for its fine medieval castle but also offers a beautiful characterful town setting where you will find day to day amenities including a doctor's surgery, a good selection of independent shops along with a Co-op supermarket, public houses, and restaurants.

Set within approximately 8.5 acres of private woodland and meadow, this exceptional detached 6-bedroom barn conversion offers a chance to embrace a slower, more intentional way of living. Surrounded by nature and defined by calm, space, and light, the property has been thoughtfully designed for those seeking a refined yet minimalist lifestyle, where modern luxury exists in harmony with the landscape, yet with day-to-day amenities and commuter links easily accessible. Once an Atcost Barn, this grain store has been beautifully reimagined into a contemporary home of striking architectural simplicity. Expanses of glass frame uninterrupted views of the woodland, creating a constant visual connection to the outdoors and allowing natural light to pour into the living spaces throughout the day. The special thing about this home is how it invites everyone to gather, whether for an Autumn walk in the woods, tearing about on the meadow in Summer or Christmas lunch for 18 with a 21ft Christmas tree taking centre stage. The home is extremely versatile offering potential to repurpose rooms as needed, with 6 bedrooms including three on the ground floor, there is potential for study spaces, teens lounges, home gym, and multigenerational living. Step Inside Stepping through the substantial entrance hall you arrive at the heart of the home, an impressive, open-plan living space, carefully zoned by flooring, to incorporate the entrance hall, sitting area, kitchen, and dining space. This vast yet cohesive environment is both sleek and welcoming, defined by clean lines, understated finishes, and a sense of effortless flow, with areas cleverly defined and with flexibility for any configuration of furnishing you desire. Four sets of ceiling to floor sliding doors open to terraces with woodland views, extending the living space and providing a tranquil setting for entertaining or quiet reflection. A striking central staircase rises in two directions, enhancing both the symmetry and architectural interest of the interior, while reinforcing the sense of thoughtful design that runs throughout the home. A baby grand piano currently takes the sweet spot below the stairs, but this could also make a wonderful book nook with armchairs and bookcases, or a great place for the dog beds! To the left of the entrance hall sit three ground floor bedrooms, all with ensuites, perfect for guest requiring accessibility or visitors with young children, wanting to enjoy social time but with an ear out for the little ones. To the right is the dedicated home office with cloakroom just outside, carefully positioned at the front of the home to cater for a bit of peace to work. The utility room sits next to the kitchen, with an external door, built in storage, laundry facilities, and of course ample room to decamp muddy paws and children – a necessary practical addition to every country home. The kitchen boasts fabulous appliances including a bank of three Neff ovens and a Neff Microwave, and two islands, one for working space and the other social bar where family can chat with a cuppa to the chef, whilst dinner cooks and the attention to detail here even includes convenient sockets for phones and electricals. The dining zone allows space for an enormous table where 18 have enjoyed family celebrations and Sunday roasts, and in summer the doors open so your after-dinner coffee can be taken at leisure whilst watching the children play or just taking in the scenery. This could also be a separate more intimate sofa space with a smaller table if preferred - the remarkable thing about the whole property is the versatility to personalise the space to suit your lifestyle.
